Bob the Builder Birthday

This was the first year our boys were able to be involved in choosing their party theme. Had their birthday been 4 months ago, it surely would have been Daniel Tiger. They would play with a variety of toys, play outside, go to the park, etc. But they LOVED Daniel Tiger. With the house on the market, they learned to like this one TV show so I could stage things right before a showing. But when we moved to FL, they discovered Bob the Builder. Suddenly, everything was all about fixing things. Block towers, forts, and puzzles were all completed with the aide of construction trucks. Warren walked around "fixing" things with his drill. They became obsessed. So, when I asked them what kind of party they wanted, both Warren and Dean proclaimed they wanted a Bob the Builder birthday party this year. Can't argue with that...

And so the planning began.

Birthday Boys!!

Tools for eating

Chips and dip, served in paint cans

Dumping chex mix. This lasted for all of 2 minutes before Warren dumped the entire truck onto the floor. Sounds about right...

Build your own Dog station, paint brushes for Ketchup and Mustard. It was actually so much nicer to get that even coat rather than use the bottle and get the big globs. Just sayin...

Food table

Chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream

Strawberry cake with chocolate buttercream

Building station. Such fun for the kiddos

Make your own dirt

Pinata. Not gonna lie, the boys were pretty bad at this. But it was Warren's one request. AND we found one shaped like a dump truck :)

Because every girl should ride in a dump truck...

And that's about it. So thankful for everyone who came out to help us celebrate our little, no so little, miracle boys! Happy 3rd birthday Warren and Dean!!
